New AxCYCLE Software Release Optimizes Waste Heat Recovery Cycles

By DE Editors

SoftInWay announced the latest features for AxCYCLE, with the release of version 2.3.

AxCYCLE offers fast calculations for heat balance and thermodynamic simulations. The new release includes an extended and comprehensive fluid library that will help engineers develop more models and cycles specifically tailored for waste heat recovery for internal combustion engines, the company says. Users will also experience improved mapping functionalities and graphics, and be able to run multipoint analysis for different operating conditions.

AxCYCLE also contains a built-in OEM internal combustion engine library and an OEM gas turbine library, both of which can be customized.

“We listened to what our clients had to say,” said Leonid Moroz, president and CEO of SoftInWay. “They told us they needed a library of engines and now we’re providing it. But we’re also giving more. We are proud to say we are the first to deliver these capabilities to the waste heat recovery industry. We’ve developed the capability to work with all major fluids which are utilized in waste heat recovery systems and we created a visualized infrastructure to track changes in fluid conditions during the expansion and compression processes. It’s a simplified process for choosing the right range of operation of machinery.”
